A production of "Armenfilm" studio named after Amo Beknazaryan
LILITH Based on Avetik Isahakyan's legend
And the Lord took a piece of earth from the ground lying under the hooves of beasts
and created man out of it:
And, giving him Paradise as his abode, He named him Adam...
And the Lord saw how lonely Adam was,
and from flitting flames He created the first woman -
the fiery Lilith...
And Adam saw on the thorny and gloomy edge of the world -
beyond the hedge of Paradise, the black head of Satan, with eyes evil and sly:
And he saw too how Satan, with Lilith in his arms, disappeared down into the fire...
And the Creator called Lilith to Him, and the Creator spoke sternly...
...I created you for him.
...Go now to Adam, and be faithful to him...
And the Lord heard Adam's sigh, and the Lord pondered -
Lilith comes from fire, Adam comes from earth...
And He created Eve from Adam's rib, so that by her origin she would obey him.
"Eve," whispered his lips, but his soul resounded "Lilith".
And he tried to forget Lilith, embracing his faithful Eve,
pressing her to his breast and kissing her,
But all the time he saw Lilith: Lilith he kissed, Lilith he caressed...
Only Lilith, exclusively Lilith.
And lived Adam waiting for Lilith, and craving always for Lilith.
And died Adam sighing "Lilith" and dreaming only of her alone.
